Synthesis and application of nanostructured materials applicable in the assembly of electrochemical sensors is one of the important trends in material sciences and analytical chemistry. In this work, we have proposed and implemented simple non-template method for assembling nanofibers from the polyaniline ultrasonicated with phenyliminophenothiazine in aqueous media. Two-step procedure including association with emeraldine dispersion and reorganization under ultrasonication led to formation of nanofibrillar structures with average diameter of 20 nm. UV-spectroscopy confirms that association of phenyliminophenothiazine and polyaniline in acidic medium resulted in an intense absorption band at 900-910 nm due to donor-acceptor interaction between the reactants. The material combined emeraldine charge transmission with redox activity of phenyliminophenothiazine was found promising for electrochemical sensing. It was confirmed by comparison of characteristics of appropriate solid-contact sensors based on emeraldine and phenyliminophenothiazine toward Fe(III) ions, ascorbic acid and hydroquinone. In all the cases, the use of phenyliminophenothiazine results in a wider concentration range and more reproducible signal against characteristics of similar sensor based on polyaniline. The applicability of the sensor was confirmed by determination of iron content in commercial medication.

Bloodstream bacterial infections, a major health concern due to rising sepsis rates, require prompt, cost-effective diagnostics. Conventional methods, like CO-based transduction, face challenges such as volatile metabolites, delayed gas-phase signaling, and the need for additional instruments, whereas electrochemical sensors provide rapid, sensitive, and efficient real-time detection. In this study, we developed a bioreceptor-free Prussian blue (PB) sensor platform for real-time bacterial growth monitoring in blood culture.

This study introduces an innovative electrochemical biosensor, engineered through the functionalization screen-printed electrode (SPE) with a coordination complex comprised of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) and copper ions (Cu), achieving precise quantitative determination of glyphosate. Electrodepositing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto the electrode surface, forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 4-MBA via thiol-gold interactions, and immobilizing Cu via coordination bonding with the monolayer, finalizing the electrochemical biosensor construction as Cu/4-MBA/AuNPs/SPE. The successful modification of the biosensor interface is confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electrochemical characterization.
